In polish "pokój" also means literally room.

In serbian "spokojno" means peaceful as in quiet. Other variations are of death though, "pokojnik" is a dead person.

In russian it means same. I wonder of polish have second word, because pokoy(pokój) is another kind of peace in russian.

Polish also has "spokój", which means "calm".
